I recently purchased a Remington model 770 for my fiancee to use during deer season. I picked it up for 299.99 with a lifetime warranty. This was one of those package guns with scope.
Now for the review, Rifle accuracy:
All I can say is wow. I had my doubts but this thing is deadly accurate. If you look at the attached photo that shows my 60 (right target) and 100 (left target) yard groups. I don't have a picture of the first 3 shots but the were just as tight as the 60 yard group out of the box.
Rifle Action
The action of the rifle does need a little work but most new rifles are tight anyway. The as mentioned before is tight and smooth. after putting 20 rounds through the gun it def seemed to smooth out more.
Quality
Don't have much field time with the rifle yet but seems to be of good quality as guns from Remington usually are.
Pre mounted Scope
The scope included is the Bushnell sportsman. It is not an expensive scope but seems to be of good quality and after 20 rounds through the gun it is still zeroed.
All in all I would rate this gun 5 out of 5 because of value, accuracy, and quality. Don't anyone be fooled this is not a show gun and was not intended to be used as one.
Oh no, somebody just opened up a can of worms again lol. I am glad that you have had good luck with your gun so far. These guns really seem to be hit or miss. The Remington 710 that I had was very accurate, fit me well and the scope was ok, but when the gun developed a crack in the stock where the clip slides in I traded it in on an older gun in good condition.

These guns are a crap shoot. Seems like ppl either get a good one, or get a horrible one. It's not typical remington qualty and most ppl will agree that they aren't worth your time or money. But I'm glad you seem to have gotten a good one. Good luck with it!

chas0218, I was able to get groups as good as and maybe a little better than your 60 yard target at 100 yards with Federal 150gr Sierra Game King boat tail bullets with a 710 .30-06 I bought about 8 years ago. You might be able to tighten things up a bit further with other ammo.
